Erie County Legislature Chairperson Betty Jean Grant (D-Buffalo) helped the County Legislature honor World War II and D-Day veteran Russell Guthrie of Buffalo at the June 6 session, the 69th anniversary of D-Day.

Mr. Guthrie, a U.S. Army veteran who earned the Combat Infantryman Badge and Purple Heart Medal, landed on the beaches at Normandy on D-Day, later fought at the Battle of the Bugle and his unit helped liberate the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps.
